Hi !

I am not able to go around that ‘permission denied’ 👎

Could you give me a hand ?

Thanks for your job !

All of that is normal. The OpenTerm application, to be acceptable for the AppStore, respects the sandbox boundaries. So changing directory outside the boundary of the app sandbox is impossible.

If you are sideloading, you can disable the "setMiniRoot" line in the OpenTerm source code. Note that it won't change much. cd / is permitted, but not cd into any of the directories below /. cd .. is permitted, but only once. All the others are still forbidden (the user mobile does not have reading rights for these directories).

What is it that you were trying to do?

[passereve]

opening /folders/ then cmd ls -ln

So I understood that I am just allowed to create new folders to write new files, isn’t it ?

[holzschu]

Yes. You can also download them (with curl), move them around (with the Files app), edit them (with other apps). But always inside the sandbox.

Thank you
By the way this is already great 👍
Thanx again for your job !
